Surly Hell is in!
From Surly's website:
"Finally, a Surly beer my German mother will drink. She says this one tastes like a bier from back home. Not unlike a Zwickel Bier from Germany, Hell is our filtered and fermented with lager yeast, American hops takes a back seat to the Pils malt sweetness and fresh bread aroma. The color is well... hell (Deutsch for light). It's fiendishly drinkable, and you don't have to sell your soul to get another."
Just a quick note: Hell is NOT a super hoppy beer like Furious, it is a very well brewed, super sessionable lager. If you are expecting a hoppy, aggressive beer you will be dissapointed. If you like the sound of a great summer lager that is easy to drink then you'll love it.
Last year when this was released we sold our entire allotment in an hour and a half. This year we are going to have more of it and it should last a little longer, I hope!
No holds, first come first served!
Cheers!

Seeing how I haven't found a Surly beer that I don't enjoy I decided to mosey on down there after I got off work (at 4:19pm). I arrived at the Firkins and there was already a decent line in the store of fellow Suds connoisseurs waiting to get there hands on at least a 4-pack of this unique beer. I opted for one 4-pack and now that I have gotten it home I'm wishing I would have picked up more (now as I type I'm downing my second 16oz. can and thinking about the 3rd). I know what you're thinking it's a light Lager, is it really that good, is it really worth $9.99 a 4-pack (16oz. cans)? My answer is HELL YES!!!!!
This is unlike any Lager you have ever had, I promise. Very light bodied, but bursting with malty flavor. Goes down extremely smooth, so smooth it kind of surprises you. The Hops are there and at first subtle but then come on late and refresh the palate. The end taste is very sweet, with a hint of sour apple. Overall a great refreshing experience, so good you'll appreciate that is comes in a 16oz. can.
Rank: 8.5/10
